Saturday Evening Gazette/June 7, 1856/Antiquities

Antiquities.—We had the privilege of holding in our hands, on Wednesday in Salem, a phial containing some dozen or more of the identical pins used by the witches in tormenting their victims two hundred years ago. The pins look bright and fresh as though of yesterday’s make. We had likewise shown to us a death warrant against some unfortunate wretch—a witch—with the fatal return of the sheriff on the back, besides many old papers, indictments, &c., relating to the dark points of Salem’s history.
